I had the honor and privilege to be Paul's Pastor for 23 years. Pastors are not supposed to have favorites, but Paul was one of my all-time favorites. He really loved the Lord and it showed on his face, in his exemplary life and in his beautiful music, which I listen to several times a week. He sang from his heart, was totally humble and sincere, and he radiated Jesus Christ. Many of his songs were about being with Jesus in heaven, and now that is a reality for this special servant of God! Paul was a real outdoor "man's man", but he was also a tender, loving, caring and nurturing husband, father, grandfather,great grandfather and brother. Most of all, he had a tender, gentle heart for the Lord. He could shed tears as well as inspire them. He was a complete man, who never lost sight of the fact that he was a sinner saved by grace. I treasure our bond and I am privileged to have dubbed him, St. Paul. My heart and prayers go out to each of you, Sally, Sally, Deb, David, Glenn, and Walter. May God's Holy Spirit come to your sides with real comfort as you mourn the loss of one of the real great ones, yet rejoice that Paul has reached that blissful shore!

I'm saddened to hear of the death of my old school buddy. We had so many fun times at Drury so many years ago. Paul Lived beside my sister in Stamford VT so I would see him occasionally through the years. Goodbye dear friend in heaven where you truly deserve to be.

It saddens me to hear of the passing of your dad.
Although I had little contact with him over the years, I did/do know if I had ever needed for help with some type of problem, he was one of the people there in Stamford that I could have counted on to give me sound and proper advise.
He will be missed, May god be with you all in this saddened time and beyond.
